: : I put a new rear tire on my 9N this evening. It is noticeably taller (4 inches) than the old tire on the other side. Both of them are Goodyear 11.2-28 tires, but the new tire's sidewall is thicker. I have two questions: : : 1. Why did this happen?
: : 2. Is it OK to run the tractor this way or do I need to buy a replacement for the other rear tire? : This will be very hard on the spider gears in the differential. I always match the rear tires as close as possible. Leroy
: I noticed the same thing on my CASE 310. Have 13.9 x 24's, one is a General, the other a Goodyear. One is noticably taller than the other. If this were on a truck with a positrac, I'd have a concern, but a 5 mph, I really don't think it makes a heck of a lot of difference. After all, these tractors were made to plow in constantly on side hills and make turns. So why should it know otherwise?
